What was in the WAIK?

Windows PE Tools Command Prompt copype.exe

imagex.exe

DISM oscdimg.exe

Windows System Image Manager (WSIM) ImageX cmd.exe with the PATH variable set to the correct folder for working with WinPE tools Create the WinPE working environment, within which you can customize WinPE Mount an image to an empty folder. Remember that images are file-based, not sector or compressed Add packages (functionality) to an image Create an .ISO out of a folder tree Create answer files (setup scripts) in the new .xml format Create, mount and deploy image files

Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit

WINDO WS A DK

Windows ADK Overview • Installing on a machine that already has WAIK or Windows OPK installed is not supported

ACT Tests Applications on Windows 8 • And Windows 7 • And web sites • How to test • • Have a test pilot group that works with the application on a daily basis Give them some time with the application • The Application Compatibility Manager or ACM is the tool to use

ACM Process

ACT 1

Collect data

ACT 2

ACM Process Inventory Data Data Data

ACM Process

ACT 3

Analyze The ACT Community

ACM

ACT Requires a Database • The supported databases are: • SQL Server 2008 • • • SQL Server 2005 SQL Server 2008 Express SQL Server 2005 Express Edition • What’s not supported: • • SQL Server 2000 Microsoft Database Engine (MSDE)

Deployment Tools

WINDO WS A DK

Deployment Tools • Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) • Windows System Image Manager (WSIM) • oscdimg, BCDBoot, WimGAPI, DISMAPI

DISM • Functions performed on images • Mount and Un-mount images • Capture • Apply • Delete • Export • Append • ImageX completely deprecated • Supports PowerShell 3.0 cmdlets

Windows System Image Manager (WSIM) • Creates .xml unattend files • Help create consistent deployments of Windows 8 • Other tools automatically create the unattend for you • MDT 2012 U1 • • SCCM 2007 SCCM 2012 • SCCM 2012 SP1

Command Line Utilites and More • Oscdimg • BCDBoot • Create a system partition or repair the boot environment on the system partition • WimGAPI and DISMAPI

Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE 4.0)

WinPE 4.0 Features • Includes .Net 4.0

• Powershell 3.0

• Internet SCSI (WinPE-iSCSI cmdlets) • New option WPEUtilWaitForNetwork • Forces WinPE to load network drivers prior to attempting to run any scripts

WinPE 4.0

• Create a bootable WinPE • Windows AIK • • CopyPE x86 c:\WinPE Copy winpe.wim -> c:\WinPE\ISO\Boot\Boot.wim

• oscdimg -n -betfsboot.com c:\winpe\iso c:\winpe\winpe.iso

• Windows ADK • MakeWinPEMedia.cmd

• • CopyPE amd64 C:\WinPE40 MakeWinPEMedia /ISO C:\WinPE40 C:\WinPE40\WinPE40.iso

WinPE 4.0

User State Migration Tool (USMT)

ADK - USMT • 2 new switches • Usmtutils /verify • • Verifies status of each file in a compressed migration store • • Default summary lists: Number of files intact Number of files corrupt • Usmtutils /extract • Extracts all files from a compressed migration store • Improved error management • Error summary in Scanstate and Loadstate logs

Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT)

VAMT 3.0

• New user interface • Computer information is stored in SQL now • 5 new Volume License reports

New VAMT UI

What VAMT Can Do For You • •

Add/Remove computers

Discover computers by querying AD DS, workgroups, by individual computer name or IP address, or via a general LDAP query • •

Discover products

Windows, Windows Server, Office • •

Monitor activation status

• • • Collect activation information about each product last 5 characters of the product key current license state (Licensed, Grace, Unlicensed) product edition information • •

Manage product keys

Manage activation data

VAMT data is stored in a SQL database VAMT can export this data to other VAMT hosts or to an archive in XML format

ADK - VAMT • 5 new volume license reports • Products about to be unlicensed • • • Duplicate computer machine ID State and usage of MAK keys Computers in unlicensed state • List of computers activated thru KMS compared to AD
